Batman will share the screen with Superman in a planned Man of Steel sequel, but the superheros won't exactly be joining forces – in fact, they'll be at odds. After confirming last weekend at Comic-Con that the DC Comics characters would share the screen, director Zack Snyder said in a statement issued by Warner Bros. that they'll battle each other, Reuters reports.

"Zack Snyder is an incredibly talented filmmaker, but beyond that, he's a fan first and he utterly gets this genre," Greg Silverman, president of creative development at Warner Bros., said.

Although Superman movies have not always been successful in the theater, Snyder's portrayal of the complex and conflicted superhero has brought in $621 million since its release earlier this summer.

Henry Cavill, Amy Adams and Laurence Fishburne will reprise their roles in the sequel, which is still unnamed. No word yet on who will be playing the role of Batman in the film, which will arrive in 2015.
